Em
Don't ever take a single second to breathe,
They're gonna send me on a murdering spree,
I can not wait to dance upon your grave,
They don't even have a soul left to be saved,
G C
You would eat your young...
Chorus:
Em
We swam among the northern lights,
G
And hid beyond the edge of night,
C
And waited for the dawn to come,
Am Bm Em
And sang a song to save us all!
Em
Hey, ohhh, you want a holy war?
Em
Hey, ohhh, you want a holy war?
Em
I am alive I'm just playing dead,
I'm gonna say what should have never been said,
The giants of the world are crashing down,
The end is near I hear the trumpets sound,
G C
You would eat your young...
Em
We swam among the northern lights,
G
And hid beyond the edge of night,
C
And waited for the dawn to come,
Am Bm Em
And sang a song to save us all!
